Though the truth doesn't stay hidden long; it'd be easy enough to tell from the words alone that the Matriarch is not doing as she should. "But our Matriarch has left recently, called away by spirits beyond. I couldn't tell you why or where. In her absence, my partner and I have taken up a protector role. Our job is to mediate, and to ensure our laws remain in-tact, and that all within our borders are safe. But I plan on listening to the collective." She is no queen. "My position is more organizational than authoritarian."
She offers a wry smile, ears flicking back. "We can only hope our Matriarch returns. If she doesn't... We will plan, and select a new Matriarch."
Rejoice despite the fact this world will kill you
Rejoice despite the fact this world will tear you to shreds
Rejoice because you’re trying your best
